Success Stories?

babygotback21 · June 2015

I'm in need of success stories today. I've been feeling pretty depressed lately as our 3 year anniversary of TTC approaches in July. I'm hoping that reading success stories of those who have gone through what I'm going through now may help to restore even a little hope to my broken heart. DH has azoospermia (0 count) after years on testosterone injections. He's been on HCG for about 2 years now trying to jumpstart production and we still don't know if it's working. Testing shows that I'm fertile. I joked 3 years ago that if we didn't have a kid after 2 years of trying we were giving up. If only I knew the emotionally devastating rollercoaster that awaited us. Jokes on me I guess. Sorry for the depressing post but thanks in advance for your stories.

One of my college friends had a similar situation. He was 0 sperm due to no tubes and she had ovulation issues. Short story: they removed part of his testicle and were able to freeze vials of healthy sperm. Then she did 3 IVFs the last one she had 5 frozen embryos. Still BFN. The LAST two embies were thawed only one made it to transfer and she now has a 2 month old little boy. Just the other day they found out they have more sperm left! Now they need the funds to do IVF again, but they are just happy to have the one!

You can read my siggy. I have had a long journey. Lost more babies than I have at home. I am very blessed with 2 wonderful boys. We just transferred our lone last frozen embie and headed to an ultrasound in the morning. I have had more bad ultrasounds than good so needless to say I am very stressed and probably why I am here seeking others who get it.

If you want success stories you can check out the other boards, pregnant after IF and success after IF. Most of the women here on IF are still trying for their baby.

This board and several others were invaluable to me over the years. I have found so much support and have made life long friends.

Good luck to you!!

@babygotback21 I understand the lot you've been dealt. Do you have a recent sperm analysis of some form?

It is all very depressing. I'm with you, I've been there. It's an emotional, completely shitty roller coster. It sounds like IVF may be for you, it seems like you're seeing an RE? I hope you'e been guided about IVF and have the information to make an informed decision.

@WhiskyandWhiskers Thank you for understanding. We are seeing an RE and we don't have a current SA. The last one we had was 2 years ago before he started the HCG. Without crossing into TMI territory, he is equally as stressed and depressed about all of this and hasn't been able to "perform" in order to do a follow up SA. We've tried 3 times since that first one.

So we simply have no idea if it's working. I haven't conceived yet so we're afraid it's not working.

So, we haven't been told much about our options because we're still trying to "fix" the problem and not really pursuing alternatives yet.
